Much SMOKE; some FIRE.

There is good deal of smoke issuing from
the neighborhood Of President Cleveland's
Cabinet just now and there is some fire.
Rumors of the resignation of Cabinet officers
are frequent. The public has been led to
believe that Mr.. Manning resigned solely be-
cause of ill health. 1t is well known fact
that his sudden attack last summer was the
result of fit OF anger because of disagree
ment with the President at Cabinet meet
ing. 1t is now believed that some differences
have existed between him and Mr.. Cleveland
for some time past and that the parting gave
pleasure to both persons. That there are in
ernal disse nsions in the Cabinet 10 very clear,
but whether they are the results of personal
jealousy between the members or dissatis-
faction with the policy (?) which the Presi-
dent is pursuing is not koown. Secretary
Whitney has gone South, ostensibly on
little pleasure trip, but some think in the in
terests Of Mr. Cleveland, who seems to he
dong his best to make himself "solid" with
that section of the country. Everybody be-
lieves that the President himself is con-
tempiating Southern journey in April or
May.

The work of replensbing the waters of
the coast with fish, as undertaken by the
Fish Commission, will be watched with
great interest. 1t has just turned loose
100000 young cod, and it now pro-
poses to experiment with halibut. The
supply of this valuable food fish had been
depleted in waters where it was once
plentiful, and it the Commission succeeds
in restoring the supply it will score no
table success. The Fish Commission is
also doing good work in providing bet

this way to save the lives OF many fisher
men. not less than 100 of whom are an

GENERAL" SPARKS IN TROUBLE

And now the Commissioner of the General
Land Office is in peck of trouble. Some
body declares that he has written letters fav-
oring Governor Hill for the next Presidency
instead of Cleveland. Sparks is terribly
wrought up by the alleged disclosure. He
walks the floor of his office and declares by
all that's great and good that he is innocent.
The truth is the Vice Presidential bee Is in
his bonnet, and its buzzing has nearly driven
thu General mad.
General Black, the Commissioner of PEN
sions, has the same trouble. He believes
that he will be the democratic candidate for
Vice President in 1888, and am rather in
clined myself to think so, too. The party
must have soldier upon the ticket, as an an.
tidote to Cleveland's veto-phobia. 1t would
seem as if General Black ought to be salts
fed with his present position. He receives a
pension of $1,000 per year for being "physi-
cal wreck" and 85, 900 per year tor his SER
vices as commissioner, together with five
times the patronage of any other bureau
officer IN the government employ. He is
said to be very much elated over Sparks dis
comfture.

CLEVELAND FOR 'S8?

have asked great many public men
through the past season who would be the
democratic nominee in '88 Nearly all of
both parties agree tibet Mr.. Cleveland will be
re-nominated. When asked "why," the re-
Spouse almost invariably is, because there
is no one else they can nominate But I do
not see the sense of this. The President is
disliked by the msjorty of his own party.
know from personal observation that near
ly all the democratic congressman are dis
gusted with HIM and that they only refrain
from out and out o position because
it would be bad for the party If his own
party, then, is bitter against him, how can he
hope for a denomination? And if re-nomi-
mated he could not possibly be reelected.
Notwithstanding his efforts to capture the
South, the Southern people avoid him. Their
absence from his receptions is very noticea-
BILE, and am surprised at his decided unpop-
ularity in Virginia. He could not begin to
carry that State to-day. Though that party
is notorious for putting its foot into it, do
not believe i: will deliberately play into the
hands of the republican party by re.nominat-
ing Grover Cleveland.

THE B. & o. DEAL.

The papers have been full of speculation in
regard to the proposed sale of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad to syndicate which proposes
to make great through route from New
York City to the Gulf of Mexico. 1t makes
precious little difference to the citizens of
Washington what is done. The B. & o. has
always treated the city in very shabby man.
ner. but it has never failed to treat members
of Congress very literally. The Washington
depot of this gigantic corporation is situated
under the very shadow of the Capitol, and is
little, mean, box-factory looking concern,
nearly one half of which is under ground.
The building is situated on government land.
and the company's tracks cover miles of
streets. 1t seems almost incredible that Con
gress should permit such a blot to exist in
the very heart of the city, and almost adjoin-
ing the Capitol. There is but one explana.
ton, and, alas, it is a true one. The influ.
ence which this road yields is great enough
to prevent all legislation unfavorable to it's
interests. Members of Congress with rail.
road passes in their pockets are hardly likely
| to take the lead in reformatory legislation.
This city has grand park extending directly
from the Capitol to the Washington monu.
ment, but it was not long ago that Congress
allowed a railroad to enter the city through
two miles of streets, across this lovely park
and to actually build q railroad station upon
ii! 1t was an outrage upon the people.

THE YANKEE ExroRrIoNisrs.

Under this heading the Washington Post,
which is sometimes said to be the Presdent's
organ, and which is edited by Stetson Hutch

Retaliation Bill in general, and the New
England fishermen in particular. 1t closes
with this paragraph: 'Shall we cut off 372,-
100000 worth of trade for the exclusive
benefit of the Gloucester "Combine?" Shall
the farmers of Ohio and Illinois, the herders
of Nebraska, the miners of Pennsylvania and
the planters of all the South be taxed to
support mackerel monopoly in one Yankee
village? Why should our people tax them
selves, worry their rulers and bully their
neighbors in order to maintain q nest of ex.
tortionists in few New England towns?" II

men had better 60 out of the business and

Washington special: The drill has
left some stings behind. The most
striking comment which has been made
upon the management of the drill is
that of the $4,000 awarded in prizes,
$l7,500 Is gwen to the south, and $500
to the north and west. Military officers
not connected with the management who
observed the drill of the competing
companies, express the opinion that
these awards We're unjust and that the
southern companies did not show such
superiority as would entitle them to
any such distinction. 1t has been ascer-
tanned in point of fact that there was for
a long time q contest in the committee
on awards between the Minnesota COM
pany, which wa awarded the second
prize, aud the Lomax Rifles
which was given the first
prize, and there is reason to believe that
the decision was finally reached mainly
OF geographical reasons and not upon
merit, and that the Lomax Rifles were
given the first prize on the principle
that it was deemed expedient by the
committee to encourage the south. The
